ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Stanford head coach David Shaw will not entertain NFL offers.

Welcome to your newest holiday tradition, the time of year when Shaw preemptively shoots down NFL rumors. "Despite being viewed as perhaps the top coaching candidate in the college ranks, Shaw has told people he plans to remain at Stanford, where he loves working with student-athletes and wants to continue coaching, according to sources," Schefter wrote. "Shaw is highly regarded in NFL circles, where he is viewed as one of the most coveted candidates in the country due to his credentials." Despite a down year in 2014, Shaw is 41-12 in four seasons at Stanford. Sun, Dec 21, 2014 07:07:00 PM

Half of the six-man NFL.com panel asked to name the NCAA coach with the most potential to succeed in the NFL selected Stanford's David Shaw.

"David Shaw would be an excellent head coach in the NFL," wrote Daniel Jeremiah. "He has pro-coaching experience, he's very organized and he relates well to his players. A lot of people expected Stanford to drop off the map following Jim Harbaugh's departure after the 2010 season. Instead, the program has improved under Shaw and Stanford is among the favorites to win another Pac-12 title this fall." Bryan Fisher noted that Shaw's system is essentially an NFL scheme. "Shaw played for Bill Walsh and has a very similar demeanor on the field and in the meeting room," Fisher wrote. "He won't leave Stanford anytime soon, but he'd be the first guy to get a call if I'm an owner looking for a new coach." David's father Willie Shaw was an assistant coach and coordinator in college and the NFL. "Shaw's style evokes an "old school" theme of physical football, but he can adapt, play multiple styles ... and beat you," Charles Davis wrote. Mon, Jun 2, 2014 08:58:00 PM
